(d) In Deane, and Adams' Pistols, the Barrel and Stock being in one, the Weight of the Barrel alone cannot be given. These Pistols, as well as Colt's, and the Cavalry 8-inch Pistol, have no Back Sights.

Both these Carbines have only 3 Grooves, with a Pitch of 1 in 78. In other respects they are the same as those of Pattern 1861. (b) The Naval Rifle has a "Cutlass Sword-bayonet." (c) Previous to December, 1859, the Stocks of the Enfield Rifle, Pattern 1853, were 1 inch longer in the Butt than the present Pattern. Several long Butt Stocks are therefore still to be met with. (d) In Deane, and Adams' Pistols, the Barrel and Stock being in one, the Weight of the Barrel alone cannot be given. These Pistols, as well as Colt's, and the Cavalry 8-inch Pistol, have no back sights. (e) The Windage is estimated by taking the difference between the Diameter of the Bullet and the Diameter of the Bore. No Allowance is made for the paper round the Bullet, which measures 009 of an inch. (f) In the Revolvers the Gauge is measured by the number of Spherical Buliets to the Pound. * In the Breech-loaders, and Revolvers, the Diameter of the Bullet being greater than that of the Bore, there is, of course, no Windage. Whitworth's Hexagonal Bullet measures 469 across angles and 438 across flats. |
